I've been passing this series by for a long time because of all that hazing stuff. As an European I will probably never fully understand it however I respect the fact it's a part of Thai uni culture. I was so pissed off during some "punishments" since I hate injustice, but well - it was a part of the plot so I tried to depersonalize myself and just watch for the show. I am a fan of good enemies-to-lovers stories and this was one of them. I personally liked the first half more. The chemistry of MLs was much better when they were "enemies" than in the second half when they started to build their romantic relationship. Or should I say romantic relationship WITHOUT romance... Their chemistry as a couple was totally absent. Especially Krist looked like someone forced him to play his role. Their kisess were awkward so I was rather glad there were only 2 kissing scenes. I remember Singto's kissing scenes in He's Coming to Me with Ohm were OK so I guess it had something to do with his co-star. I am wondering if I should watch SOTUS S cause I am afraid their chemistry won't suddenly magicaly appear in it. But as I know myself I will probably torture myself and give it a try some other time.

Overall if you're going to watch it bear in mind it is one of the first BLs. So the "romantic" part is not that developed and performed as in todays series. Which is a shame because with better script and chemistry they could bring us much much better outcome. If they would remake it one day I would watch it for sure - I am curious how the whole plot would be executed now - but with ACTUAL chemistry between MLs and with some of my favorite actors.

PS: I loved Off here - after watching maybe 30 minutes of one of the Safe House episodes on Youtube I am sure he was playing himself :D (I mean when the hazing team was relaxed and not giving orders to juniors).
